Motorola i1

Parting is such sweet sorrow, but with constant onslaught of new Android devices, older models must make way for their newer, shinier counterparts. The good people over at SprintFeed got a peek at Sprint's list of end-of-life devices, all of which will gradually be phased out over the coming weeks and months. The list includes the beloved EVO 4G (the white version will be phased out in September...

What the Motorola i1 may lack in specs, it makes up for in connectivity. As the only Android phone with PTT (push-to-talk) it fills the needs of many who rely on this service in their every day lives.
It's also a ruggedized, Mil-Spec handset. This may not mean much to you or I, but for the first responder types and guys out in the weather on the jobsite (exactly the type that need PTT!) it's a...

The Motorola i1 is neither big, nor bad, but it certainly fills a niche that many believe is dying off -- push-to-talk on the IDEN network. Applications and services from other carriers try to replicate it, but if you've ever used an actual "chirp" phone (either because you wanted to or otherwise) you know it's not the same. Those who need PTT service on their phone now have an Android choice,...

The Krusell Gaia mobile pocket pouch is a great looking pocket pouch that fits many mid-sized phones. The sleek, executive style not only looks and feels good in the hand or pocket, it provides full protection from scratches to every part of your expensive Android phone. With no clips or hardware on the case, it slips easily in and out of a pocket, briefcase, or purse without snagging or being...

Chirp! -- whether you find it annoying, or rely on it every day at the workplace, when Push-to-Talk (or DC, or chirp, or beeps -- whatever name you tag it with) made it's debut on Android you know we had to check it out. You've seen the first quick look at the Moto i1, and while we're waiting for Jerry to get in gear and give it a proper review, we can have a peek at one of the phone's biggest...

Not every new phone is a 1 GHz box of thunder, nor does it have to be. The Motorola i1 is built tough, even if the specs aren't very high: 3.1-inch LCD screen, 600 MHz ARM 11 processor, Android 1.5, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, basically everything you'd expect in an Android phone, all running on the Nextel IDEN network -- which means Push-To-Talk.We'll have a proper review for this one shortly, as...

The Motorola i1 -- the first Android smartphone with Nextel's Direct Connect (aka push-to-talk) service -- is now available at Sprint for $149.99 after two-year contract and $50 rebate. [Watch our hands-on demo.] It's available online, business sales and telesales only for now, and it'll be available in stores come Aug. 8. What do you get? A fairly rugged smartphone sporting Android 1.5, a 5-...

Sprint announced this morning that it will make available the Motorola i1 -- the first Android push-to-talk device -- starting July 25 for $149.99 after contract and rebate. It initially will be sold through direct shipping, business sales and telesales, and will hit all remaining Sprint sales channels starting Aug. 8.The Motorola i1 (see our hands-on) is a fairly basic Android device, sporting a...

Well what have we here? Looks like a screenshot of Sprint's latest playbook, and there are a few interesting things for Android lovers on the list. July 11 looks to be a good day. First up would be the Motorola i1 (see our hands-on) hitting the shelves at your local Sprint store. If you don't remember, that's the mid-spec military grade Android handset with push-to-talk functions. Perfect...

When we said the Motorola i1 was coming to Boost Mobile in the coming weeks, we meant it. Because this morning Sprint announced that it'll be available starting June 20 at all Boost Mobile retail stores, Best Buy and Best Buy Mobile. Pricing wasn't announced, but you'll get unlimited voice and data for $50 a month. The Motorola i1 (see our hands-on) has a 3.1-inch HVGA touchscreen, 5-megapixel...

The Boost Mobile Motorola i1 popped up on Best Buy recently and it looks like it'll be priced a bit higher than any of us wanted and/or expected: $349.99. On one hand, the Motorola i1 is a pre-paid device that comes with no commitments or contracts. Not to mention that you could use Boost Mobile's $50/month all inclusive plan to save even more money down the road. But for a device that is...

The Motorola i1, the first push to talk Android-powered phone, is now available on SouthernLinc Wireless. We had expected Sprint to be the first carrier to carry the Motorola i1 but we guess a little carrier no one's heard about beat them to the punch. And it looks like Boost Mobile is hot on its heels, with MobileCrunch scoring confirmation that the i1 is on the way to the MVNO. The Motorola...

You can't buy any of them yet, but the HTC Evo 4G, Google Nexus One and Motorola i1 are now all listed on Sprint's developer site, along with some video and specs. No great surprise there on the part of the i1 and Evo 4G, but it does firm up Sprint's position on the Nexus One after all we'd had to go on was that "Us, too!" announcement that came right after the AT&T version was let loose. [...

The good news is that those of you who have to have Nextel's push-to-talk service and have been dying for an Android phone can now have it in the Motorola i1. Otherwise, there's not a whole lot to get excited about here. It's a pretty basic candybar-style phone, running Android 1.5. It feels just fine in the had, through the software runs a little slow (that could just be a demo thing) and feels...

On the eve of CTIA (translated: While we're all on planes headed to Las Vegas), Motorola announced the Motorola i1 (aka the Opus One), bringing you the very first push-to-talk Android-powered smartphone.The i1 sports a 3.1-inch touchscreen at 320x480 pixels, WiFi and Opera Mini 5 with Flash Lite, a 5-megapixel camera and 2GB microSD card included.
